Scientists at the University of Würzburg have successfully produced human tissues from stem cells. They have a complexity similar to that of normal tissue and are far superior to previous structures
Complex organ models grown in the lab
Tissue Engineering
Novel shape-shifting material can produce human face
Complex shape-shifting lattices composed of multiple elastomeric materials can grow or shrink in response to changes in temperature
Microswimmers manipulate single particles and cells
A new type of micromotor controlled by ultrasound and magnets could provide a powerful tool for advanced biomedical research
A better way to grow multiple organs
A research team develops an improved method to grow an organoid model of the liver, bile duct and pancreas
Stem Cell studies offer hope for childhood neurological condition
As both therapy and tool for drug discovery, Stem Cells present parallel opportunities for treatment
A swifter way towards 3D-printed organs
Sacrificial ink-writing technique allows 3D printing of large, vascularized human organ building blocks
Engineered killer T cells could provide long-lasting immunity against cancer
Researchers use stem cells to engineer cells that attack human tumors in mice
Artificially engineering the intestine
Researchers have created an artificial scaffold that mimics the native small intestinal architecture, complete with villi
Gene editing enables researchers to correct mutation in muscle stem cells
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a rare but devastating genetic disorder that causes muscle loss and physical impairments. Researchers have shown that CRISPR may provide the means for lifelong correction of the genetic mutation responsible for the disorder
